Invitation
Dearest Sahaj Family,
Jai Shri Mataji!
With great humility, loving surrender and unceasing gratitude to our Holy Mother Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, we are delighted to invite all brothers and sisters of the global Sangha to join us in the land of Lord Shiva to offer puja to our Divine Mother in Her most complete manifestation as Shri Adi Shakti Mataji, the Eternal Queen and Ruler of Sahastrara.
We await with joyful anticipation, to welcome you all to Albion’s shores with arms and hearts wide open, on the weekend of 26th, 27th and 28th June, 2026, for the blissful celebration of the international Shri Adi Shakti Puja to be offered at the UK National SY Centre, Bloxham Barn Farm situated in the beautiful Warwickshire countryside in the very heart of rural England.
Let us gather as one being to invoke the Primordial Power of God Almighty, the Supreme Goddess, Shri Adi Shakti.
By your Grace, Shri Mataji, may You be pleased by our auspicious attention, pure devotion and heart-felt worship.
With deepest respect and love,
The Hosting Nations
Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Iceland, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, UK and Ireland
Collective Meditations
All meditations start at 6 AM (Cabella Time)
The UK National Centre
For some years, Shri Mataji advised the UK collective to find a National Centre surrounded by plenty of land so that the Shri Ganesha Tattwa of the country could be worked out. It should be in the central part of England and easily accessible.
Following the rejection of a number of possible venues, Bloxham Barn Farm received Mother’s blessings and was purchased on the auspicious date of 23rd February, 2007. It is nestled between Shakespeare’s Stratford upon Avon, Royal Leamington Spa and Banbury, while also being close to the banks of the rivers Cherwell, Leam and Avon.
The property consists of a farmhouse which is essentially Shri Mataji’s house, a large puja hall/barn, a large dining hall, a designated new kitchen, a new multipurpose barn and many smaller rooms used for a wide array of purposes – sleeping dorms, bathrooms, a treatment room, a flower room and other small storage areas. It was originally an equestrian centre but has over the years undergone a great deal of collective work to make it the UK National Centre it now is.
‘The Farm’ as it is affectionately called, has hosted countless national pujas and collective meditations, as well as other collective events such as Bella Vita, children’s camps, Yuva Shakti Seminars and treatment weekends.
The buildings are surrounded by 33 acres of arable and grazing land in the stunning Warwickshire countryside, with views of Edge Hill and Burton Dassett Country Park. There are currently a few sheep, chickens, a dog and 2 cats!
Farm address: Bloxham Barn Farm, Chadshunt CV35 0EL, UK
